As a nursing parent, planning to pump at work may feel stressful - but preparing to have this discussion with your boss doesn’t need to be.

So, what do you say to your boss or your company's HR department?

Keep your head in a positive and confident place. Tell your employer that you are (or are planning to) breastfeed your baby and will need to take breaks to express milk. Explain how this will impact your schedule to do so. Ask for their guidance on where you will have access to a clean, private space that is not a bathroom. If you need another type of accommodation, an open office or conference room will work too.

If they are unfamiliar, you can explain that regular pumping breaks are necessary to avoid severe pain, the risk of infection, the risk to your milk supply, and other complications. Or that continuing to breastfeed is very important to you because of all the health benefits for you and your baby. And not to mention, the CDC and WHO recommend it!

Breast milk is infant food and must be prepared and handled in a sanitary space - not a bathroom!

I am here for support! Let me know your questions or concerns if I can help before you have this conversation.

While travelling frequently for work, I struggled with storing enough breast milk for my trips in the tiny freezer I had in Singapore (and don't even get me started on hotel freezers).

The engineer in me knew there had to be a better solution—not just for me, but for all pumping parents facing similar challenges. From there, the Freeze It Flat was born. It's had quite a few different iterations over the years, and we are so proud of where it's landed now.

The Freeze It Flat is more than just a product; it's a testament to the power of motherhood and engineering combined. This World Breastfeeding Week, I celebrate not only my own journey but also the incredible community of parents who inspire and drive my passion every day.

Thank you for joining me in this movement to support and empower each other in our breastfeeding journeys. Here's to more innovation, support, and shared success! Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

Hi, I'm Jillian Rothe: Mom, Engineer, Lactivist.

Faced with endometriosis at a young age, I focused on my career in engineering and international business, not expecting motherhood in my path. Yet, life surprised me in Singapore, leading to the birth of my first child and a new challenge: storing breast milk effectively during business trips. This need sparked my invention of the Freeze It Flat™, helping parents manage milk storage with ease.

Now from Denver, I’m proud to connect with and support families navigating similar journeys. Here’s to sharing our stories and solutions!

SAVE THIS POST!

Knowing breastmilk storage guidelines means more peace of mind and less liquid gold down the drain. And yes, we get it – life's a bit unpredictable, especially with curious toddlers around! Here's the scoop:

Freshly pumped and at room temperature? Enjoy within 2-4 hours. 🕒
Packed with ice in a cooler? Good for 24 hours of adventures. 🧊
Hanging out in the fridge? Stay fresh for 4-8 days. 🌡️
Chillin' in your freezer? Hold onto that goodness for 4-8 months. ❄️
Nestled in a chest freezer? Trust it for a full year. 🏔️
Thawed from frozen? Savor it within 24 hours. 🥶

And guess what? I've got your back with a handy fridge magnet, perfect for sharing the knowledge with your whole village. 🏡✉️ (Check out the link in my bio to grab yours)

So, don't stress. Breastmilk is pretty darn resilient. And if you're ever in doubt, give it a sniff and a taste – you're the ultimate quality control! Remember, every drop counts and your milk-saving journey is a true feat.

Chezka gives us five stars and shares her impressive results: 'Very Impressed! I used the double Freeze It Flat organizer on the right vs not on the left. I highly recommend it! Will be buying a few more!' 🎉

We're thrilled to hear how much the Freeze It Flat has helped organize and maximize your freezer space, Chezka! Thank you for trusting us to make a difference in your milk storage routine. 🍼🙌

Thinking of giving your freezer a makeover? Follow Chezka's lead and see the difference for yourself. Check out her before and after pics! Have a review or a before-and-after story? We’d love to hear it—drop us a comment below!

HOW TO: Make a breastmilk brick

When you have an abundance of milk to store - having loose bags all over the place isn't a great strategy.

Insert - the milk brick...

Frozen milk bags are stored in 2.5 gallon bags in the shape of well, a brick.

The Freeze It Flat is a great tool for building your milk bricks - as perfectly flat frozen bags makes building a brick all that much easier.

Follow these steps:

🍼 Freeze Breastmilk in 4-6oz bags using the Freeze It Flat
🍼 Label all bags with date and ounces
🍼 Place baggies in a 2.5 gallon ziplock
🍼 Write the dates on the outside of the ziplock
🍼 Store in a freezer for 6-12 months
🍼 Rotate the bricks to use the oldest milk first

If you aren't producing enough extra milk to freeze a brick - don't worry! Storing ounces and ounces of breastmilk isn't essential to a happy, fed baby, but for those who have a little (or a lot) of extra - bricks are such a great tool!
